Beverley Food Festival and Christmas Festival of Food & Drink Forms are available

We are proud to announce:

The Beverley Food Festival will take place

on Sunday 1st October 2017, in The Marketplace in Beverley

&

The Christmas Festival of Food & Drink will take place

on Saturday 25th November 2017, inside Beverley Minster

Building on the success of previous years, we want to ensure that these events continue to be an important date on the local food calendar. These Festivals have gained an excellent reputation, with last year over 30,000 residents, shoppers and visitors attending the Beverley Food Festival and over 9,000 attending the Christmas Festival of Food & Drink.

We believe strongly with continuing to support local food producers to sell and promote their wares to as many people as possible, to provide additional sales opportunities during the current financial climate.

This year there will be once again an emphasis on food education, cookery skills and encouraging people to buy local food. As such, there will be the return of the popular food theatre marquee, in which top local chefs will carry out a range of cookery demonstrations using products available on the day. This year we will be welcoming David Nowell (Beverley Tickton Grange) and a range of other highly-acclaimed and Michelin-starred local chefs. There will also be other Food Festival activities and attractions to keep visitors entertained.

Forms have gone by email to all stall holders from the 2016 events, from our waiting list or who has expressed an interest.

Due to the high demand for stalls it is vital that you return this to us BY POST by 11th April 2017. If we do not receive your application by 11th April 2017, we cannot guarantee a stall.

By keeping the Festivals free-to-attend for visitors, we believe that this will increase their spending power at your stalls.
